Mini Baby-Friendly Quiches Recipe:
Ingredients
- 300g (2 Cups) Plain Flour
- 120g Butter
- 3-4 Tablespoons Water
- Drizzle rapeseed oil
- 1 medium onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 large handful spinach leaves finely chopped
- 24 cherry tomatoes quartered
- Handful fresh basil leaves freshly chopped
- 4 free-range Eggs
- 100g grated cheddar cheese
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC
- In a bowl sieve your flour, then add the butter and using your fingers rub into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add your water (1 tablespoon at a time) and using your hands mix into the flour and butter until it resembles a dough that sticks together.
- Roll on a floured surface until thin and then use a small circular cookie cutter to shape out 24 minicircles, place into a mini muffin tin, then leave in the fridge until you are ready to fill.
- Meanwhile, heat the rapeseed oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onions until they are translucent. Add the garlic and spinach and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Add the chopped up cherry tomatoes and basil leaves and stir well.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge then add a heaped teaspoon into each case.
- In a separate jug, whisk the eggs until light and fluffy. Fill each little quiche up with the egg, then sprinkle over a little cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the egg is set.
- Cool fully before serving.
